11. BOOK REVIEW
The premise of “One Night @ the Call Center” is simple. It’s abou
t five call center agents going through the worst night of their l
ives, until a call from God not only saves their futures, but thei
r lives as well. Written from the perspective of Shyam, the cha
racters may seem stereotypically Indian, but that does not mea
n they’re just random people with issues.
Instead, his characters have their own set of skeletons in their clo
set that make them uniquely human. This offers the chance to
not only recognize the stereotypes, but to also understand that t
heir flaws are what make them unique.

12. Three-Fourth of the book goes at a good pace
describing the lives of the 6 people . Apart
from the problems with the callers , they also
had a terrible boss - Bakshi . Shyam and Vroom
had designed a new website for the firm and
they submitted the report to Bakshi . Shyam
was expecting to be promoted as the team
leader while Bakshi submitted the report to
Boston with his name in it . Thus , Bakshi not
only affected the Shyam’s work life but that
had impact on his personal life as well . The 6
of them had a terrible personal life as well .

13. For example, In This Book Esha is the typical
beautiful Indian girl who wants to become a
famous model, but because of a physical flaw, she
becomes unthinkably desperate and does
something that emotionally harms her.
It is during her conversation with Shyam in the
conference room that Esha’s true personality is
revealed and we stop seeing her as just another
pretty girl and begin to notice her layers of
imperfection.

14. The twist comes when the lives of the 6
people dramatically gets affected on the
same day and they leave in a Qualis at 2 am .
They end up in getting the Qualis skid of the
road into a construction site where they
battle for life. It turns out that Shyam gets a
phone call then , a phone call from God . The
call is also heard by the others and God tells
them the reason for their misery and how
they can overcome it .

15. The story then speeds up with Shyam &
Vroom threatening Bakshi , saving the
jobs of the colleagues and then
improving their own lives as well . They
have plans of starting their own web
designing firm , and Shyam get backs his
love- Priyanka . The story makes an
abrupt change after the phone call of
God .

16. The CONCLUSION
The saying goes well for the characters of the
book, ’’Life is like a sweet melody, only lyrics
are messed up ! ’’
All’n all, a fundoo and cool book. Go for it !
